Top Five Ways To Relax After Midterms

After a stressful week of midterms, the best thing to do is to relax through these five top ways.


1. Grab a facemask and head for the couch

One of the best things to do is to find a face mask that either soothes, moisturizes, or helps get rid of the acne that flared up during exam week. Let it dry on your face for a good thirty minutes as you relax on the couch and watch some TV.

2. Get a massage

After spending two hours each on exams, sitting at a crammed classroom in a tiny desk probably has your shoulders, legs, and other muscles scrunched up and filled with tension. Get a massage to help your muscles release tension, and for you to feel better overall.


3. Exercise

The best thing to do after spending a week of sitting in uncomfortable positions while taking a test is to exercise. Get moving and work out a bit. It's healthy to fit at least thirty minute of exercise a day after a week of none.

4. Get out of the house

Go to the city or take a nice walk around the town or your neighborhood. Breathe in some fresh air and look around at the beautiful sights of nature that you missed out on while taking a bunch of exams last week.


5. Make sure to hang out with your friends

It's good to keep in touch with your friends. Go out to a restaurant, see a movie, go ice skating, or anything that lets you have a good time while communicating with your friends.


At the end of the day, its best to relax after a stress-filled week of midterms. Whether watching Netflix or exercising helps relieve you of stress, remember that this is all for you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
